Genshin Impact Version 5.0 Update Launching This Month
HoYoverse announced that its Version 5.0 update for free-to-play action RPG Genshin Impact will release on August 28, 2024. The update is titled “Flowers Resplendent on the Sun-Scorched Sojourn”, and will add in a sixth nation for players to explore in the world of Teyvat.
The update introduces Natlan, also known as the Nation of War and Nation of Pyro. Natlan is located west of the Sumeru Desert and its populace is made up of six different tribes, with players exploring three of these tribes in the Version 5.0 content. Its people coexist with the dragons of Natlan, commonly referred to as Saurians, who often live together with local people.
As part of the game, players will gain the ability to transform into Saurians and use their abilities to explore the land. The Tepetlisaurus are good at tunneling and climbing in the canyons they call home alongside the Children of Echoes. The Yumkasaurus can reach great heights with ease around the steep cliffs they live with the Scions of the Canopy. The Koholasaurus can move quickly over water and other liquids, frequently seen alongside the People of the Springs near the coast.
Natlan’s Archon Quest is available to players who have reached Adventure Rank 28 or above and have completed all of Liyue’s Archon Quests, though the map is available to those who have reached Adventure Rank 19 and completed all Mondstadt Archon Quests. Its story revolves around a tournament to honour its warriors, where a Champion is chosen for each tribe. The tournament is held at the Stadium of the Sacred Flame, with players joining local warriors and new characters Kachina, Kinich, and Mualani as they travel to the stadium. Kachina is a four-star Geo polearm wielders from the Children of Echoes and can be recruited for free by completing Act I of the Archon Quest, while Kinich is a five-star Dendro warrior from the Scions of the Canopy, and Mualani is a five-star Hydro catalyst wielder.
Genshin Impact originally released in September 2020 and is available for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, iOS, and Android. Players control a character in the world of Teyvat known as “the Traveler” and must embark on a journey to find their missing sibling. They are joined by NPC companion Paimon, travelling in a party of up to four active members.
